The sequel to Guillermo del Toro's 2013 robots vs. aliens spectaclePacific Rim has finally been green-lit by Legendary Pictures, and will hit theatres April 7, 2017.

BuzzFeed reports that an animated series set in the Pacific Rim universe is also incoming, dropping at an undetermined time before the sequel and released in the USA by Universal Pictures.

Earlier on in the month, it was reported that del Toro was hard at work on a script with new collaborator Zak Penn, and he has now revealed that original co-writer Travis Beacham would also be contributing.

“The characters I love will return,” del Toro told BuzzFeed. “Raleigh, Mako, Newt, Gottlieb and who knows, maybe even Hannibal Chau – but we are taking them into a fresh territory that will display amazing sights and battles. The first film set the stage and now we’re ready to have a blast.”

Guillermo Del Toro On Pacific Rim 2, Dark Universe
del Toro has said that the film will follow on from the events of the first movie, and will focus on original heroes Raleigh (Charlie Hunnam) and Mako (Rinko Kikuchi).

This is terrific news for fans of the original. The film performed poorly at the domestic box office, leaving its future uncertain, but was saved in the international market, where it gained a massive 75% of its worldwide box office gross.
 
So the first one was worth watching then?
I totally passed it up on ratings.
 
First one is good but needed more fighting.

Get it on Blu-Ray and enjoy.
 
First one sucks. Terrible acting. Terrible character personalities. Mediocre action.

Get rid of the annoying scientists. Get rid Charlie "I can not act to save my life" Hunnam. and you have 50% improvement.

its pure dumb turn off your brain fun. Some people diss the movie and say it's characters are sallow and the story is now deep. I mean s*** it's big robots punching monsters in the face WTF did people want f***ing Citizen Kane? Hell even toro said he give the characters more death but cut a lot of it as he knew he was just making a fun film and the movie did not need that for the type of movie he wanted to make.

Its a great movie a well done pure popcorn flick. I love it but hell I love John Carter maybe I got s***ty taste in films. This is one of those movies people just seem to like to bitch about for the sake of bitching. its like they're just to smart to like something that is just pure simple fun.

Hell just download it if you're worried about not liking it. It's like honest trailers said it's the best dumbest movie of the summer. Here is that video but it gives away some of the cool stuff.

Mediocre action? ok now you're just full of s***.Terrible character personalities? Really WTF the film is not a character study here. Its like me watching a kids show then saying damn this show is aimed at kids.

must be nice to have such low standards that crap like this seems awesome. Let me guess, Paranormal activity should have won an Oscar, right :p

Pacific Rim sucks balls. Deal with it.
 
In some ways, I wish it was more like Real Steel. Maybe the trade off Pacific Rim made was exploring more supporting characters instead of just focusing on the main characters.

No. You suck balls. We've been over this. Pacific Rim is the single best movie every made. Your just all butt hurt because they based that annoying English scientist on you. :-P

If he was based on me he would have been far quieter and thus the movie a lot better :D
 
Thumbs up. My wife and I loved the first one! Heck, I might watch it again sometime this weekend. Been a while I haven't seen it.
 
Have to agree with menace on this one. I rented Pacific Rim a few months back and thought it was complete trash.

Bitch your mother is trash. It's ok Rim is just to good for some of you it seems. I hope one day you'll find the good taste you're so lacking.
 
I love the first one. Everything is completely over the top and stylized, including the personalities. It's basically a big budget action movie created in the same style that a Japanese Anime would be.
 
Good flick if you're looking for a small step up from Power Rangers. lol.

Everyone knows it's a cheesy, low brow robot/alien beat down flick. But even then it sure was dumb. The producers and directors surely spent 1% of the time trying to execute good story, acting and interesting plot and 99% of the time in the graphic design studio looking at the latest CGI stills from the 3 million animators. Thankfully, I killed time watching it for free on a plane ride.

On the plus side, PR2 won't be out for another 3 years.

Tip for producer: You already went through the German duo and the chopsocky 3-man Chinese dude group. I suggest a quartet of blonde haired Swedes, or a five-man team of maple syrup sipping Canadians! And don't forget to paint the Swede robot blue with a yellow cross and the Canuck robot red with a maple leaf on the forehead. lol
 
Pacific Rim was cool. Good story, great action, fun cast, and a excellent throwback to classic giant monster flicks. Wish we could get suit action, a combo of practical and computer effects has always been the way to go in my book. Either way, I'm looking forward to the movie.

The cdn rebot will be made out of wood and piloted by a lumberjack with a maple syrup reactor and it's weapon will be the beaver launcher.
 
Could these be the new Jaegers in Pacific Rim Uprising?

No I think he is back on. Principle photography is done, and I *think* it's due next Spring.

I love Kaiju movies, so I can't wait for this. Hopefully John Boyega is better than blonde dude though.

I'm more interested in what the Kaiju look like than the what the Jaegers look like, but it sounds like they are going bigger this time.

Hopefully they do more fight scenes in the daylight. Most of the ones in the last movie were very dark and/or rainy, and it ruined a little bit of it for me.

Wait, del toro is directing? I thought he got someone else to do it, with his blessing.

I wish. Dude named Steven S. DeKnight directed, and a few other people wrote the screenplay from a story by Del Toro.

Hope it's good.
 
Ugh, I really don't like the jaeger designs. Too gundam lol.

I liked how unique the first ones were. Cherno Alpha was dope.
